"Following his self-imposed exile in Britain, soon-to-be FLOWER
TRAVELLINí BAND leader YUYUA UCHIDA embarked on the task of creating a
hand-picked band in the hope of achieving a home-grown outfit to rival
groups he'd been listening to in London. Legendary guitarist HIDEKI
ISHIMA was his first recruit, followed by steel guitarist KATSHIKO
KOBAYASHI and then the bravest move of all, the beautiful vocalist REMI
ASO was asked to front the band, now named THE FLOWERS. The band's debut
LP, originally released in 1968, completely changed the Japanese
musical scene, featuring as it did, hard covers of Big Brother And The
Holding Company, Cream and Jefferson Airplane songs, and its
ground-breaking cover art, featuring the band's members, including Miss
Aso, naked in a cornfield, changed the musical landscape for ever. First
vinyl reissue, includes an LP insert. On 180-gram vinyl"
